Default Server not yet moved

Terribly sorry for the server move taking so long - there's a huge amount of data to move and the whole process is taking far longer than I originally anticipated.

Rather than leave the forums offline while the move continues, what I've decided to do instead is keep the forums running here, and then once all the TW files are moved and set up, I'll just make a back up copy of the forum database and get that uploaded to the new server.

That way I can keep the forums open and running for longer, and minimise the amount of downtime the forums would otherwise suffer.

Also, apologies again for leaving the forums closed for so long, but now I know that the server move will take much longer, I'd rather get them re-opened for the time being.

no worries brian, and thanks for all your efforts m8. This site is great and having looked at the others, I can confirm it is by far the best. Lets hope you can catch who the disrupter is so we can all enjoy yhe forums with the least amount of hassle for the guys who run it.

I agree entirely. This forum is not only the most informative and accurate place for knowledge that I now 'Live' within, but its also one of the most friendly.

I have had no end of help, and really do feel like part of the family. We all greatly appreciate all your hard work Brian.

If there anything we can ever do in return, please tell us! (Apart from donating of course, I plan to do so toward the end of this month, the mods need a proper thanks from me)

Keep it up mate, love your work.
